her reflection stares back at her
until she feels the warmth of the darkness
she undresses
and stands naked
smiling
beckoning
she climbs into her bed
and stands naked
smiling
beckoning
she climbs into her bed
and waits silently
lying still, staring at the night in anticipation
until she feels the warmth of the darkness
wrapping itself around her
she closes her eyes and feels him close
there is no time, nor distance between them
he is there
he is real
she holds him tightly
and as he slips safely once again
into her heart
into her heart
she sleeps
beautiful dreams

That's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA very nice poem ... sleep preceded by a dream ... so quiet and gentle ... maybe the perfect lover ...
